Call KRE they are the only ones that I know that have done it with Picketts 428 and track results back it up with 8.0"s in quarter mile.

I think to make 2.0 HP per cube takes way more than the average guy is willing to spend or to make the effort to achieve. I have been fortunate enough to have seen some of what it takes to make 2.8-2.9 HP per cube in pro stock, and let me tell you. I do not have the funds or time to dedicate to such an endeavor. It gets way more involved at this level than I think most realize. Let's see what everyone's thoughts are. Let's use a 500 cubic inch limit with our current deck height of 10.240" and the cylinder heads that we have available right now. There are no limitations except the two I just mentioned. If the engine is capable of making a minimum of 2.3 HP per cube. Then this theoretical engine will make 1150+ HP. Let's not turn this into a cylinder head pissing match. I don't care what heads are used to achieve this goal. I just want to get people together to brain storm. We have some really smart guy's here and I think this will be of interest to everyone from the amateur racer all the way up to the professional level engine builder
